How to solve this?
Thank you
Hi @Euro3000, what version of python are you running and what how did you install BittyTax, which version?
Looks like you're trying to build all the BittyTax dependancies from source code?
Pycairo is a dependancy on svglib, which is a dependancy on Reportlab which is a dependancy on xhtml2pdf (which BittyTax requires).
Maybe you had Pycairo installed from another application? See https://pycairo.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_started.html
Hey
I did install Python with Homebrew and than followed the instruction to install BittyTax for Mac in the guide :)
Maybe I've misread something there.
Strange... what version of MacOS are you running? Also what hardware, is it Apple silicon?
I'm wondering if the binaries included in the pycairo package, aren't compatible with what you're running on and it's having to build it from source.
You could try installing the following and then, do the pip install again. See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/56607764/pip-install-pycairo-fails-on-osx-pkg-config-search-path-problems.
brew install pkg-config
brew install cairo
It's really strange. I had BittyTax installed before resetting my MBP M1 completely. I don't remember running into issues before.
I installed png-config and cairo and it seem to work fine now :) Thank you
Glad it's fixed it.
Please give the project a star! :)
